He hadn\u2019t seen his son for few years and wanted to meet his son who lived in a city. So he started his journey and came to a city where his son used to work and stay. Then he went to the place from where he used to get letters long back. When he knocked the door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son. Unfortunately, someone else opened the door. Jerry asked, <strong>\u201cI suppose Thomas should be staying in this place.\u201d The person said, <strong>\u201cNo! He had left the place and shifted to a different location.\u201d Jerry was disappointed and just thinking how to meet his son.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' wp-image-64898 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/01%5C/c4a70fa96a59aa0d1f6740af086bcf3f.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"564\"' height='\"335\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/c4a70fa96a59aa0d1f6740af086bcf3f.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>He started to walk in the street and the neighbors asked Jerry, <strong>\u201cAre you looking for Thomas?\u201d Jerry responded by nodding his head. The neighbors gave the present address and office address of Thomas to the Jerry. Jerry thanked them and started towards the path which will lead to his son. Jerry went to the office and asked at the reception counter, <strong>\u201cCould you please tell me the location of Thomas, in this office?\u201d The receptionist asked, <strong>\u201cMay I know how you are related to him?\u201d Jerry responded politely by saying,<strong> \u201cI\u2019m his father.\u201d The receptionist said, Jerry to wait for a moment and rang up to Thomas and conveyed the same. Thomas was shocked and told the receptionist to send his father to the cabin immediately.\n<h4><span style='\"color:' font-size:>Jerry entered the cabin and when he saw Thomas, his eyes were filled with tears. \n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Thomas was happy to see his father. They had a simple conversation for a while and then Jerry asked Thomas, <strong>\u201cSon! Mom wants to see you. Can you Come home with me?\u201d\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Thomas responded, <strong>\u201cNo father. I can\u2019t come. I am very busy working for my success and it\u2019s hard to manage a leave to visit as my hands are full with loads of stressful work .\u201d Jerry gave a simple smile and said,<strong> \u201cOkay! You may do your work. I\u2019ll be going back to our village today evening.\u201d Thomas asked, <strong>\u201cYou can stay for few days with me. Please.\u201d Jerry responded after a moment of silence, <strong>\u201cSon. You are busy with your tasks. I don\u2019t want to make you uncomfortable or become a burden for you.\u201d Continued, <strong>\u201cI hope if ever had a chance to meet you again, I would be happy.\u201d He left the place.\n<h4><span style='\"color:' font-size:>After a few weeks, Thomas wondered why his father came alone after a long time, he felt bad for treating his father in a weird manner. \n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>He felt guilty for it and took a leave in office for few days and went to his village to meet his father. When he went to the place where he was born and grew up, he saw that his parents were not there. He was shocked and asked the neighbors, <strong>\u201cWhat happened here? My parents have to be there. Where are they now?\u201d The neighbors gave the address of the place where his parents are staying.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Thomas rushed to the place and noticed that the place was like a graveyard. Thomas eyes were filled with tears and started to walk slowly towards the place. His father Jerry noticed Thomas in a far distance and waved his hand to draw his attention. Thomas saw his father and started to run and hugged him.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' wp-image-64900 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/01%5C/4ca71db7c39b2b868c5f8395d8039dc2-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"564\"' height='\"376\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4ca71db7c39b2b868c5f8395d8039dc2-1.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Jerry asked, <strong>\u201cHow are you?\u201d and continued, <strong>\u201cWhat a surprise to see you here.

So I thought of approaching you for a help, but you were very busy and stressed with your work.
